Free FALLing

Right now I am snuggled up on my couch with a blanket, the fireplace is crackling, the aroma of pumpkin spice candles is conjuring images of pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin EVERYTHING. It’s no secret. I FREAKING LOVE FALL. It’s perhaps my most favorite thing about living on this side of the U.S.

Some of the basic bitch things I like to do during fall:

Hike

Drink a shit ton of (decaf) pumpkin lattes

Hike

Get some new sweaters, scarves and boots and wear my favorite ones incessantly

Cook a lot of soups, stews and casseroles

Hike

Eat

Hike

Seeing a trend much?

This is why I am devastated that I didn’t do any fall hiking this year. Or at least go out to take photos of fall foliage. I guess I’ve been too busy with my kids (I’m basically an Uber driver) that it slipped by me. This week is a little too cold to have Apollo outdoors for extended times, and even if next week is a little warmer, most of the foliage will have fallen.

So today I am just admiring some fall photos of the last two years. Nearly all of them are from around my neighborhood. Gahhh. Why must it be so short lived?

I am a hot mess on caffeine! It makes me on edge so I avoid it as much as possible. I order Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte a lot. All you have to do is ask for decaf! I do the same thing at local coffee shops and have never had a problem. Let me know if it works for you!
